Popular Post GolfSpy Barbajo Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 So I have 5 rounds (well, 4.5) in the books with Triad. They say it's for golfers trying to break 80 - and out of those 5 rounds, I've broken 80 three times. Haven't done this since before my knee injury, so it's good to feel like a golfer again. I've found it low-ish spin off the tee, but with enough spin around the green. It can't be low spin/high spin, but they've done a nice job of balancing the two spin areas. At 85 compression, it does have a nice feel - not DUO squishy by any stretch, but not a rock, either. Best shot was a 7-iron from 155 that hit and stopped dead about a foot and a half from the pin. And no, I didn't miss the putt The breaking 80 thing is spooky - three times in five tries (79-76-78 - all at courses I've never played before). The other two rounds were just bad - 86 and 87, but hey, it's winter. The cynic in me says it's not the ball, and that correlation isn't causation - but the ball is predictable and I'm hitting fairways with it. I'd say the Z-Star XV and Diamond are both longer (higher compression), but it seems very comparable to the standard Z-Star and the new Bridgestone Tour B RX. Maybe there is something to that balanced layer density thing after all. Right now, there's no reason I can see to change to something else. No more golf for me until late March, so we'll see how the next rounds go. But bottom line - so far, I like it. cksurfdude, Olmsted421, GregGarner and 13 others 14 1 1 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: TSR3; DynaPWR Carbon FW Wood: DynaPWR 3-wood; TSR 2+ Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: ZX MkII 20* Irons:; 699/699 Pro V2 Combo; D9 Forged; MT86 (coming soon!); VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTX6 Zipcore Putter: HB Soft Milled 10.5; Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; 8802; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B RXS; Z-STAR Diamond; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 This is a really nice video about the ball and it's design. Really interesting how they keyed in on offcenter cores, dollars to donuts that's directly influenced by MGS. Properties like this are great and I wish there were more of them, because the whole campaign with Manolo is just so off-putting to me and feels like yet another marketing reach that isn't going to cut it.

Berg Ryman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 So watching this video and reading about the tech in the Triad, isn't this similar to the claims from OnCore as it relates to perimeter weighting a golf ball? I'm not saying the tech is exactly the same, but this is an interesting claim you don't hear much about and could be a good differentiator for Wilson in the sapce and could give better claim to OnCore's tech. The CG story is interesting too, feels like that's in Maxfli's space. If Wilson exists between those two balls, I think they have a winner on their hands here.

GolfSpy TCB Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The idea of consistent density in all layers is interesting. I would be surprised if Wilson is the only one to use that... but there seems to be some valid logic there... I am looking forward to trying it... and fielding the comments from my playing partners...like I already do when I use my Maxfli Tours...

sg419 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I purchased a dozen Triads about 2 weeks ago and gave it a try heads up with my regular ball the Snell Black Was looking for a possible replacement in case of the nightmare scenario of Snell being kicked out of their manufacturing plant Here is how it went for me: I found the Triad to be very similar to the Snell in Distance , both off the driver, fairway woods, hybrids and the irons. The feel off the putter was relatively the same but the sound was more muted when struck than the Snell Black Very similar performance when chipping or hitting bunker shots. 2 big differences in the balls: 1. The Triad spins a lot off of my irons, a whole lot. I hit a gap wedge that spun back 6ft and I am not a high spin player, the Snell backed up maybe a foot. ON another shot I had a 9 iron back up 3ft when the Snell just hopped out the divot. I had to adjust what club I hit into the greens because of the spin on the Triad. It's not a bad thing, just not use to it. 2. Would not play these in the wind. I went out on another day when there was a good 10-15mph wind out.. The Snell IMO is the best ball in the wind and the Triad was falling well short of the Snell. Especially with irons. Every shot into the wind was well short of the green with the Triad and on the green with the Snell. Would play Snell or the Z-Star on windy days. Overall a good ball, was very pleased. It will not replace my Snell Black but it is a possible replacement in the event of TM going nuclear on Snell.

PedroCerrano Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Was an ok experience for me. Very straight off the tee, could get them to stop on the green when flushed with my irons, but no wedge spin from inside 100 yards for me. I typically spin the heck out of the ball and just couldn’t get a grip on these for some reason; might have just been one of those days. I did have to replace a few during the round that I did happen to catch clean. If it went in a bunker, the paint was toast on the way out. Wilson is on to something with this one, just not my cup of tee. cksurfdude, GregGarner and JohnSmalls 3 Quote Driver: Callaway Epic Max 9, Evenflow Black 6.0 75g Woods: Callaway Rogue 3 and 5 Aldila Synergy Hybrid: Callaway Rogue 4 Aldila Synergy 5-PW: Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal, Nippon Tour 105 Stiff Cleveland Wedges (mix of CBX2, Zip Core, and RTX depending on the course) Odessey 2 Ball TEN Stroke Lab Putter Titleist Pro V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjudge Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I played 14 holes with the Wilson Triad ball yesterday (planned on only playing 9 holes, but the weather was way too nice for February in Eastern PA, despite some light rain earlier in the day, so I played until dark). For me, this ball plays very much like the OnCore Vero X1 ball that I have been playing for the last 9 months .... pretty straight, decent spin, mid to mid-high trajectory, and semi-soft, but not too soft off the putter face. I only missed three fairways off the tee, and not by much on any of those three, and for February the distances that I was getting were pretty darned good (230-235 yards with my driver off the tee, 210 with the 4-wood, 148-152 with the 7-iron, and 110 + a hair with PW). For reference, these distances are about 2 to 5 yards longer with the PW and 7-iron, about normal for the 4-wood, and a few yards longer than usual with the driver. Feel on chips, pitches and partial shots is very good. The one area of disappointment is durability; by the time that I had completed 7 or 8 holes, the cover was showing some scuff marks (I didn't blade any shots, and no contact was made with trees or cart paths, just two shots out of fairway bunkers and one from a greenside bunker). fixyurdivot, Thin2win, MattF and 3 others 6 Quote DR - Callaway Paradym AI Smoke Max, Newton Motion 4-Dot shaft 4W - Titleist TSR2, Newton Motion 4-Dot FW shaft HYB - Sub 70 949X 21*, original HZRDUS Black 85-S shaft 7W (if played) - Titleist TSR, ACCRA TZ6 7S Irons - Cobra King Forged Tec X, KBS TGI graphite shafts Wedges - Edison 2.0, 47* (bent to 48*), 53* and 57* (bent to 58*), KBS TGI 100 Tour S Putter - Evnroll ER10 ""Outback” Mallet Ball - Maxfli Tour-X CG (2023) or Vice Pro Plus Bags - Vessel / Ghost stand bags Cart - MotoCaddy M7 Remote (without the remote) Spoiler Lots of short game practice has made this a strength; now the driver is causing problems!

Popular Post benb1989 Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 Despite having purchased the balls over a month ago yesterday was the first round I have played since they were delivered, and I was very impressed. Thought id give sharing my thoughts a go. Distance I have been using the tour speeds or Tour B X and have found these to be around the longest balls for me, I was expecting the Wilson to be a bit shorter but there wasn't any difference, I was constantly around the same area distance wise I would expect to be, and on one hole I carried a bunker, just short of the green, which I haven't carried for a long time. Distances with my irons was normal as well. Driving So the distance was good, but I purchased the ball to hit more fairways. Well, I didn't lose a ball, played the whole round with the same ball, which is a miracle. I did go into the trees, but was not as far in as I have been on other days. My drives normally are either straight or left to right, and when they go left to right its enough to put me into the longer rough or trouble. With these balls I found they were not moving anywhere near as much, in fact the only time I got into trouble right was when I aimed to the right of a tree off the tee and was aiming a bit too far right and the ball bounced into the long rough, I didn't slice one drive into trouble Iron Shots Nothing out of the ordinary if I am honest. Nothing jumped out at me positive or negative. If anything the ball flight looked better, but the end result was what I would expect. Didn't notice any more or less spin into the greens Short Game Felt great off the face and was suited to my short game. From 60 yards in, the 3/4 - 1/2 swing with my 56 is my go to shot and the ball done what I am used to my golf balls doing, bounce and roll up towards the hole. I have never played with a lot of spin with my short and its not something I really look for in a ball. As long as the ball is not like a rock which will bounce and shoot off it will work for me. Putting I noticed a big difference here. The ball felt great off the putter and it may have just been a good putting day but it rolled lovely and I holed more puts than I normally expect too. My brother, who I was playing with commented on the roll of the ball compared to his a few times. Only one round but was very impressed. Durability The ball held up remarkably well. I used the one ball for the whole round. I hit a tree, a cart path and had a couple of bunker shots and I would still use the ball again. I tend to find the Tour speed scuff, but these Triads seem a lot more durable. Im playing again tomorrow, so hopefully much of the same.

the great spinks Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 18 hours ago, Quigleyd said: I have tried these and they are ok... Nothing super spectacular to me. I like the regular staff ball more. Plus, while I am a fan of manolo. The marketing around this ball is as terrible as the name. I was also unimpressed with the sleeve I put in play last week. The conditions weren't great, but my issues were with wedges. The cover didn't hold up on wedge shots and the cover had a crease in it after a single shot. cksurfdude, JohnSmalls, fixyurdivot and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler86 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Played the Triad on a whim today, they had some next to the register at check in. I enjoyed to ball a lot. It played to the same distances as I play the MTBX with no issues. Maybe a little straighter flight. I was shocked at how well it held greens for me, lot of drop and stops with my mid irons. The course was very wet today from dew, not soft though. Took 16 holes to dry out. Im not sure that the MTBX would have spun that well, that wet, FOR ME. Not a fan of it being a Wilson, but I bought a dozen anyway. Gotta see how they play when its dry. Played 16 holes with one ball. It saw 5 sand traps. Held up very well.

benb1989 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Stopped using the ball for a while as local shops did not have any stock, then we came into winter, I just use cheap distance balls in the winter, the greens are so soft so spin into greens is irrelevant for me. The weather has picked up and its a bit drier so I picked up a box of Triads in the week and have put the ball back into to play for the last 2 rounds. I was an idiot for not going back to it sooner. 2 rounds, lost 1 ball and that was because I went too long on a dog leg so run out of room and went into the trees. The biggest difference is without a doubt off the tee, its long and from my experience a lot straighter, my putts appear to roll better as well, which was a playing partner commented on. 2 more rounds this week so hopefully more of the same HikingMike and GolfSpy TCB 2 Quote , Driver, Mavrik Max 10.5*, Aldila rouge white 60, XS flex , 3 Wood, MX-700, S flex , 4 Hybrid, Mavrik Max, S flex , 5-PW 699 Pro, KBS Tour S flex , Wedges, Vokey, 52*, 56*, 60* , Putter, Stroke Lab Black #7 , Pro V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
